publish a local web site in online

Hello,

I have designed a web site in my localhost and i want to publish it in online, i have bought a PC and installed windows sever in it, but i don't know how to make my site online using it? should i need to buy a domain ? could you please give me some tips please

You don't need your own server. Simply use someone like "**********" which offers free web hosting. You'll be giving a web domain name like "www.example.00webhost.com" unless you want to buy a domain name(you can buy them for like £5.00/yr) which then you just have to point the 00webhost servers to it and then people will be able to access your site from "www.example.com". It'll cost you £5.00 a year and the hosting is free. Need anymore help just ask.

I have made a web site using XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and MySQL. It is running in my local host but i would like to publish it in online. Could you please suggest me any web hosting link/name which i can use to publish my website?

I have already search in Google but since i don't know too much about web hosting service therefore it is difficult for me to choose one. As a result i need your suggestion, could you please suggest me one which is cheaper or even free it would great

There are two aspects of getting your site online: (1) you need a URL address and (2) you need a server to host your content.

I'm a big fan of http://www.DotEasy.com, which I have used for numerous sites for many years with great satisfaction. For myself and a couple of artist clients -- who do not need server-side scripting nor database -- I use their FREE hosting plan. When you register your URL through DotEasy for about $25.00 for two years, they give you the hosting service FREE.

Some URL register services, like GoDaddy. seem cheap, but when you multiple their hosting service fee x 12 months, you get a better idea of the total cost.
